Schoonover’s Studios, 1616 North Rodney Street, Wilmington, Delaware
Students came from all walks of life to study with Schoonover. He held classes in the mornings and evenings to accommodate their schedules. Classes were held for adults on Monday (evening), Wednesday (morning), and Friday (morning and evening), and for children on Saturday morning.
This list was compiled from the roll books that Schoonover kept from 1943 through 1968. Many of the entries were handwritten and thus difficult to read. Even in the later years when the rolls were typed, the spelling of names was inconsistent. Often only the last name was entered, but lists of complete names and addresses for some of the classes survive. While a few of the students spent only several months studying with Schoonover, others returned year after year, even sending their children to the Saturday morning classes.
The surname of each student is listed as it first appeared in the Schoonover records.
